Nice family weekend

The home is located in a quiet cove just across from a boat ramp. Excellent location if you’re planning on bringing your boat. House is comfortable. Kitchen has all the necessary essentials. Lovely porch with a filtered view of the lake. Owner is available to answer any questions or help if needed. About 25 minute boat ride to Clemson marina. Would not hesitate to rent again.

Family getaway while dropping kiddo off at college

Brief 2-day stay while dropping one of our kids off for freshman year at Clemson. The property was exactly as advertised, very clean, and a great location on the water. Short walk to the dock, and water in mid-August was perfect. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Seneca Lakehouse

We were in town for a little R&R and to attend a music festival in Anderson. We couldn’t have found a better location or property. The house was beautiful, clean and had everything one could want for a getaway. The host was very nice and accommodating.

Great Lake weekend

House was cute and clean. The house was well stocked with linens and kitchen items. We snuck away for a July 4th weekend with family. Loved that we could enjoy the dogs. The dock is excellent with some covered space and a boat slip that we used on the day we rented a boat. Only negative was that there was no electricity down near the dock.

Perfect weekend

We went to see our son in law graduate with his masters degree. It was the perfect location to get to Clemson and far enough to enjoy the beautiful lake. It’s only 10 minutes from Clemson. 😜 we would definitely stay here again and maybe rent a boat next time.

Nice A frame house

We enjoyed our stay at this house. There were 5 of us and we were comfortable with space. It was nice having access to the refrigerator in the garage in addition to the full kitchen. We were in town for a Clemson football game and the house was a very reasonable distance from campus/stadium.

Perfection!!!

The weather could have been better but the house and location were perfect. We made the most of rainy days by traveling to Greenville and playing family games. On the good weather days…the view from the dock exceeded expectations. The house had everything we needed and was clean/cozy. We loved all the restaurants near Clemson. Highly recommend The Esso Club, Loose Change, and Charleston. Our kids loved Andee’s Custom Blended Ice Cream…went twice but would have went nightly. Hope to come back soon!!

Beautiful lake home just outside Clemson, SC

Beautiful lake home inside and out! Secluded, wooded property right on the lake. Amazing lake views from the house, screened porch, and upstairs master bedroom & balcony. Shaded outdoor fire pit overlooking the lake. Large floating dock provides easy lake access to swim and large area to set up chairs to sunbathe. Very close to Clemson! Our daughter is a student at Clemson and drove back and forth several times. Quick, easy drive! We plan to book this property on future trips!

My family and I came up to the lake house for our summer vacation. It was exactly what we were looking for. I will commend the owner for quick responsiveness. There was a thunderstorm that knocked out power and the Wi-Fi. The power came back on but the Wi-Fi did not. I called him and he had someone come over immediately to resolve the problem.

The owners were very sweet and quick to answer any questions. We rented this VRBO for my husband’s birthday. We had a great time! The house was right on the lake, dog friendly with a great view. It was very clean and updated inside. The location is great and close to Clemson. We rented a pontoon boat from the Clemson Marina which was very close to the house .

This house had mostly everything we needed and were expecting. It is in a great quiet location with a great jetty and quiet waters. The house could have been cleaner and and more organized but overall a good stay. Take extra dishwasher tabs and toilet paper, we ran out the day before we left.
